b. state governments have some powers that the federal government does not have.
c. only powers specifically given to the government are legal.

Explanation:

In a federal - system like in the US, power is divided between the federal and state governments. State governments have reserved powers that the federal government does not possess. Option A is more about direct democracy aspects. Option C is related to the concept of enumerated powers in a general sense but not the main result of federalism. Option D is about limited government in a broader context not specific to federalism's main result.

Answer:

B. State governments have some powers that the federal government does not have.
